Abstract
The 1H-NMR spectra of ortho-substituted 2-(X-benzal)-1,3-indanediones, 3-(2-X-benzal)-phthalides and 3-(2-X-benzal)-5,6-dihydro-4,7-dithiaphthalides have been studied. The chemical shifts observed for the methine proton were correlated with various constants of the substituents. In addition to simple correlations, two- and three-parameter correlations were also made. Statistically most important one-parameter correlations were observed for σp-constants. Apart from the common electronic effects, in the transfer of effects of the substituents from the ortho-position upon the chemical shift of the methine proton the field effect plays also an important role. The deviations observed in the case of substances substituted in both ortho-positions confirm the assumed considerable distortion of the coplanarity of the studied systems.
